R. Eher et al., FIRST VALIDATION STUDIES CONCERNING A GERMAN VERSION OF METZ STYLES-OF-CONFLICT-INVENTORY (SCI), Verhaltenstherapie, 7(3), 1997, pp. 145-152
A German version of the ''Styles of Conflict Inventory'' (SCI) was val
idated in a preliminary study including a sample of 88 healthy and neu
rotic volunteers. Factor analyses' confirmed the dimensional structure
of the scales assertion, aggression, withdrawal, submission and denia
l. Discriminant analysis studies, furthermore, revealed the SCI to rep
resent a powerful instrument in discriminating between healthy women a
nd women suffering from panic disorder/agoraphobia. The German version
of the SCI, therefore, turned out not only to have good reliability a
nd validity, but also seems to be of great clinical importance.
